Death in Drasil works unlike conventional games. Upon death, you are sent to the Second Realm, a place between Damnation and Salvation. For many, the way out of the Second Realm is a simple conversation with one of the Forsaken in order to return to the living.

But for those that have used Cursed Items and had their soul scarred seven times they may not return from the Second Realm after death. These unforgiven souls must linger in the Second Realm as Forgotten Souls until their religious congregation prays to their God for that soul's forgiveness and return. Only then can an Unforgiven Soul return to the living. 

Among these Forgotten Souls are also the souls of those that were banished from the world above by their nation's governments for especially heinous crimes. These souls have no way out from the Second Realm, no amount of prayer will forgive them until the Nation they were banished from pardons them from their fate.
